Small bumper conversion

[Jand3rson]

Look to pay anywhere from $300-600, depending on conditon. Don't forget shipping also, depending where you get them from. They are very large, and not very light.

Euros man! Look at how hot Ryan Stewart's car is!

Jordan addresses the mod, and i will too in the coming weeks. He isn't kidding, the mods to do it right are quite ridiculous.

Am i not an average modder either, but Jordan and I are the kinds of people who want it our way, and we find ourselves doing it our way because, we don't want to pay someone else, or just to learn and brag about how we did it ourselves.

The front is bolt on.

1500 is a bit pricey, i wouldn't spend any more than 700 all-inclusive. If you have time, a bit of know how, and a HUGE bank account FULL of patience, then it's doable.

Inspar8r what fron bumper do you have on your car?
It looks familiar but I can't finger it. It's a diving board right?

[Sean]

Yeah, those are the diving boards, painted black.

His car looks awesome. :D

[slammed_e30]

Its not a DIY job on 87 and older e30's Its cake on 88's

so why is it cake on 88's?

[Brian 89 325i]

Because the 88's already have the same rear fenders, front valence, etc all the 89+ cars. They also have tucked aluminium bumpers stock.

Thank you. The front is the aluminum painted black, but the rear is now plastic.

The only reason i didn't go plastic in the front is:

1. Everyone does the i frontend with iS lip or something like that, and,

2. The design makes the car narrower than it is because the i valence gets narrower as it goes to the bottom of the lip.

The only way i'd do plastic front bumpers is if i come across and ACS lip, since i make the car look wider than a conventional lip does.

Oh well. when the ACS piece comes up, i'll chase it.

No problem, it really complements your car,
went to your website to see if I could find a
write-up about your car, but it's a no go. Is
your lip spoiler from an iS? I was trying to
figure though out too.

[Inspar8r]

It's the iS spoiler for 87 and earlier cars, before the updated plastic bumpers started being installed at the factory. the write-ups will be up soon, but it's been crazy busy lately...

id just be goin with euro chrome bumpers..they can look real good when done well, as Ryan's car demonstrates.

Jordan got his bumpers from me in ok condition for 300. I would have to caution people though...he is about the most mechanically inclined person i have ever met and it took him quite a while to make them look perfect. And they are PERFECT. Representin Jordan.

thats no kidding. i spent about 24 total hours on getting mine perfect, and they are nowhere near his, but mine are painted myself, but you'd never know it. It just got oo cold to finish any of the work, so one side is perfect and one is a little shabby...

spring will come

[bkelsey86]

hey inspr8r heres an idea try fitting ur 87 valence to teh plastic bumpers, Sure it will take work but ittl be worth it and im sure ur used to doin custom work.

[BMW BMXER]

inspr8r did you ever get a chance to look at my post on bimmerforums about fixing an is spoiler. I have most of one and reaaaaaally like em. They look sick.

I always forget ur cars an eta.
